World Cup song launch with Greg James, Bradman v Packer with Dan Brettig
🕑 Added 2019-05-13 08:22:42 +0000 UTCWorld Cup theme songs can capture a moment in time or be absolute disasters. We still don't know where this one falls, because it hasn't been released. But Adam heard it at a secret screening with Radio 1 breakfast presenter Greg James, who's going to flog it on the radio. Will it hit No.1? "It's very complex," he reckons. More importantly, he's interested in cricket cutting through to a new audience in Britain via the tournament.
In the second half we talk to Cricinfo's Daniel Brettig about his new book revealing the secret meeting between Don Bradman and Kerry Packer that negotiated an end to the World Series Cricket war. Neither man ever admitted this had happened, but Brettig is the sleuth on the case.
We recorded this episode before the IPL final, so that'll come next week.
